  • So I've decided to start doing more recording between by original songs! I've got a whole list of songs I'd like to cover. Here's my take on Mrs Trunchbull's 'The Smell of Rebellion' from Tim Minchin's Matilda musical!

    I am well aware that your covers aren’t exactly as popular as your originals but, do you ever plan to do song Covers again? Speaking of which, amazing job with this song, I’m practicing this song for an audition for Ms.Trunchbull and I’ve been looking for an alternative version from the original cast just so I have more then one option to go about it

  • @SaramatheUnchained
    @SaramatheUnchained Před 3 lety +16

    This doesn’t particularly pertain to your cover or you generally but I just wanna say this. I GOT THE PART! They used the Sing Broadway instrumental of this song for the audition, so practicing with this video was actually quite beneficial. While it could be argued that using the original song to practice as well requires thanks, using the style of pronunciation and the rolling of R’s that you did is what landed me the roll. So I come here and now to Thank You, Mr.Stupendium. Thank you dearly for this cover of a middle aged woman abusing children with Physical Education

    Googled the lyrics for the few people still enjoying this masterpiece after so long
    This school of late has started reeking
    Quiet, maggots, when I'm speaking!
    Reeking with a most disturbing scent
    Only the finest nostrils smell it
    But I know it oh-too-well
    It is the odour of rebellion
    It's the bouquet of dissent!
    And you may bet your britches
    This headmistress
    Finds this foul odiferousness
    Wholly olfactorily insulting
    And so to stop the stench's spread
    I find a session of Phys Ed
    Sorts the merely rank from the revolting
    The smell of rebellion comes out in the sweat
    And Phys Ed will get you sweating
    And it won't be long before I smell the pong
    Of aiding and abetting!
    A bit of phys. Ed. Will tell us who
    Has a head full of rebellious thoughts
    Hold! Hold!
    Just like a rotten egg floats
    To the top of a bucket of water
    The smell of rebellion!
    The stench of revolt!
    The reek of insubordination!
    (I can't take it anymore! One, two, three, four0
    The whiff of resistance!
    The pong of dissent!
    The funk of mutiny in action!
    (That's not right!)
    Before a weed becomes too big and greedy
    You really need to nip it in the bud
    Position two
    Before the worm starts to turn
    You must scrape off the dirt
    And rip it from the mud!
    The whiff of insurgence!
    The stench of intent!
    The reek of pre-pubescent protest!
    (But that's not right!)
    (One, two, three, four)
    The funk of defiance!
    The odour of coup!
    The waft of anarchy in progress!
    (I can't take it anymore!)
    Once we've exercised these demons
    They shall be too pooped for dreaming!
    Some double-time discipline
    Should stop the rot from setting in!
    All right, let's step it up. Double-time!
    One, two, three, four!
    Discipline
    Discipline
    For children who aren't listening
    For midgets who are fidgeting
    And whispering in history
    Their chattering and chittering
    Their nattering and twittering
    Is tempered with a smattering of
    Discipline
    We must begin insisting
    On rigidity and discipline
    Persistently resisting
    This anarchistic mischieving
    These minutes you are frittering
    On pandering and pitying
    While little ones like this
    They just want discipline
    The simpering and whimpering
    The dribbling and the spittling
    The Miss, I need a tissue
    Is an issue we can fix
    There is no mystery to mastering
    The art of classroom mistressing
    It's discipline, discipline, discipline!
    The smell of rebellion!
    The stench of revolt!
    The reek of pre-pubescent plotting!
    The whiff of resistance!
    The pong of dissent!
    The funk of moral fibre rotting!
    Imagine a world with no children
    Close your eyes and just dream
    Imagine, come on, try it
    The peace and the quiet
    A babbling stream
    Now imagine a woods with a cottage
    And inside that cottage we find
    A dwarf called Zeke, a carnival freak
    Who can fold paper hats with his mind
    And he says: Don't let them steal your horses! No!
    Don't let them throw them away! No!
    If you find your way through
    They'll be waiting for you
    Singing 'neigh neigh'!
    She's mad!
    Aha! And there, just like I said
    The stinking maggot rears his head
    Even the squittiest, piteous mess
    Can harbour seeds of stinkiness
    Have you ever seen anything more repellent?
    Have you ever smelled anything worse
    Than that smell of rebellion?
    The stench of revolt!
    The reek of insubordination!
    The whiff of resistance!
    The pong of dissent!
    Discipline, discipline
    No more whispering
    Children need discipline
    Cut out their whimpering
    If you're micheiving
    She'll sniff you out
    Without a doubt
    She's a snout in a million
    Discipline, discipline
    No more whispering
    Children need discipline
    Cut out their whimpering
    And I will not stop till you are squashed!
    Till this rebellion is quashed!
    Till glorious, sweaty discipline has washed
    This sickening scent
    Away!
